Is there a symbol for dyslexia? The spiritual meaning of dyslexia may surprise you. If you are wondering what the true meaning of dyslexia is, here it is: Many people with dyslexia also have superstitions and strange beliefs because they cannot understand what they read. They cannot read easily, so they are afraid to read as much as possible. They think that if they read a lot, bad things will happen to them. Some people with this condition feel that if they do not write, they can make their lives better. Find out the spiritual root of dyslexia.
Dyslexia has gotten a lot of attention in recent years, largely due to successful dyslexia schools like Summit. Such schools’ success has been attributed to several factors, including giving dyslexic students the opportunity to learn in a dyslexia-friendly environment and using techniques such as lowered letter size, changing the way the alphabet is presented, ADHD medications for those with hyperactivity or attention difficulties, dyslexic-friendly fonts like Duxbury, using visuals or movement-based learning and embracing strengths that many dyslexic students are known for, such as creativity, pattern recognition and having an analytical edge.
Spiritual Meaning of Dyslexia in Adults
Dyslexia distorts reality, which can have disastrous results. It is something that many people in our day and age suffer greatly from. Dyslexia affects people with normal or even above normal intelligence because the brain frequently transposes words’ initial and final letters, causing numbers to be reversed. You would undoubtedly concur that this misconception contains a huge gap in understanding. My sincere sympathies are with people who must battle dyslexia throughout their lives.
Shifting our focus from the material to the spiritual, I think many Christians have what I would refer to as “spiritual dyslexia.” Naturally, theologians do not use that phrase. A word like “the noetic effects of sin,” which simply acknowledges that all of humanity’s faculties—including his mind—have been severely impacted since Adam’s fall, would sound far more acceptable to them. To put it plainly, we simply don’t think as exactly and clearly as we would have in the absence of the Fall.
Theologically speaking, we are all blind spots. 1 Corinthians 13 states that we can only see this side of glory through a glass darkly. We will all understand everything precisely one day—as much as limited minds can fathom the limitless. We all have our blind spots and traditions, though, at the moment. “Everyone has traditions, and those most blinded by them are those who do not believe they have any,” as my friend Dr. James White frequently states. If we were precisely aware of our errors, we would quickly adjust our perspective. The important thing to remember is that until God the Holy Spirit enlightens us and vanquishes the consequences of our sinfulness, we are unable to see things for what they truly are.
People who are dyslexic or dyslectic frequently misunderstand words by swapping letters, letter combinations, or even entire words and sentences. As a result, this person might interpret “not” as “ton” or the other way around, “hobo” as “boho,” etc. Stewart Francis once said, “I read that ten out of two people are dyslexic.”
Regarding spiritual matters, there is also a handicap in man’s capacity to read the Bible, which is God’s Word. That is to say, man frequently misinterprets God’s Word based just on his natural reason. The irony is that most individuals read books about subjects like the sciences and have a common understanding of what those books imply. But not in the case of the Bible. It appears that Adam and Eve, our original parents, left behind some sort of spiritual “genetic defect” or “brain injury” that has affected all of humanity. [See: “You’ll Be Astonished!”]
“…through one man [Adam] sin entered the world, and death through sin and thus death spread to all men, because all have sinned,” the apostle Paul stated in Romans 5:12.
Spiritual Meaning of Dyslexia
Dyslexia is a spiritual condition that can be traced back to the fall of man.
The first humans, Adam and Eve, were given the gift of literacy by God. They used this gift to write down their sins on the tree of knowledge, which caused them to be banished from paradise. This is why we have dyslexia today—because we are all descendants of Adam and Eve.
We are all sinners, and we should not be ashamed of our dyslexia. It is a sign from God that he loves us, even if our imperfections cause us to struggle with reading and writing.
God wants us to share our struggles with others so they can also come closer to him through their own struggles with literacy.
Dyslexia And Intuition
The spiritual meaning of dyslexia is that it allows you to see the world in a new way.
If you have dyslexia, you might feel like you’re just not good at anything. But the truth is that having dyslexia can make you more creative and innovative! If you have trouble reading and writing, it’s because your brain processes everything differently than someone who doesn’t have dyslexia. This means that your brain is seeing things from a different perspective than those around you. And that’s a great thing!
Dyslexia is an opportunity for growth and change, but only if you let it be. You can learn how to read and write using visualizations, or even use technology to help with these tasks if they’re too difficult for you otherwise. It’s also important to remember that there are many different ways of communicating—not just through written words (like emails or text messages). You can use video chat apps like Skype or FaceTime if speaking face-to-face helps with communication instead of writing things out on paper or typing them up into emails first before sending them off!
Dyslexia is a spiritual sign. It is the universe’s way of telling you that you need to change your life, and that you will be rewarded for doing so.
Dyslexia is a gift, not a curse. The universe gives us dyslexia as a way of showing us that we are on the right path in life. Dyslexia indicates that the universe has chosen you to accomplish something significant in this life, and it is up to you to find out what that is.
If you are dyslexic, then this means that there is something very special about the way your mind works. It means that you are able to see things in ways other people cannot, and this will help you achieve success in whatever fields interest you most!
Sometimes, as Christians, I think we get it a little backward. We start out on a journey to get to know God and then somewhere along the way, we get off track. I’ve been so far off track in my journey at times that when I looked around, I wondered how I even got here.
One way to describe my detoured journey as a Christian is to take a peek into the mind of a dyslexic. I’ve shared in the past of our daughter’s journey with dyslexia. In her tutoring sessions, I’ve learned a lot of how dyslexic mind works.
A dyslexic’s mind flips around and substitutes letters in words. They have an inability to interpret text, discern phonemes and distinct sounds represented by certain letters. Teaching a dyslexic how to read can be a difficult task. English in itself doesn’t make sense, for example, words like laugh, cough and tough. The average American is taught these words make an ‘f’ sound. When sounded out they are pronounced coff, laff, and tuff. We are taught, just ‘memorize’ these words make these sounds, just accept it. A dyslexic looks at these words and says this is a bunch tomfoolery, show me where the ‘f’ is, this is a nonsense word.
As Christians, we do the same in our own spiritual lives. We are taught something our whole lives and just accept it as true and never question if what was taught was actually true. Over time we’ve substituted and exchanged what we’ve been taught with our own formed beliefs without ever opening up the Bible to see for ourselves.
Sometimes We Get it Backwards
Our Salvation- Somehow along the way we’ve complicated salvation and made it something it’s not. We’ve made salvation about us, in how much good we do, not that Jesus died for us. There would have been no point in sending Jesus if salvation were up to us. Salvation isn’t, works + grace= salvation. It’s salvation + grace= works. No amount of good works could get us to heaven it would never be enough, God’s grace is what saved us which was paid for by the blood of Jesus. Ephesians 2:8-9 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.”
Judgment- Dyslexics also have the inability to determine the difference between words such as live and live–same word different pronunciation. Without putting these words into a sentence, the context of their meaning is lost. The same way dyslexics interpret text, we do the same, as Christians. We interpret one piece of the Bible, without putting it into the entire context of God’s purpose. We judge those who sin pointing our finger to tell them ‘the wages of sin is death,’ when we are sinners ourself, leaving out ‘but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord’ (Romans 6:23). There is only one judge and that is God.
Love- Ironically love in the English language is an exception word, meaning when a word has a silent ‘e’ the ‘e’ makes the vowel long like in the word cōve. Love is pronounced ‘luv’ making the vowel short, not following the silent ‘e’ rule. Love is not an exception, it’s our existence. Love may not follow all the rules but it’s our purpose. God is the creator of love. Love is God. “Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love” (1 John 4:8). Love has become distorted, less about relationships more about stuff. Our world has distorted what love is veering far from God’s design, seeking to fulfill love in places where love will never be found. A life without love isn’t living life at all. If love was about being fulfilled with everything in this world, there would have been no point in sending Jesus.
English is a language that has exceptions and doesn’t follow the rules. When teaching my daughter to read I have to explain to her words ending with ‘k’ and ‘ck’ make a ‘k’ sound except for the word stomach–another exception word. But that’s just it, there’s always going to be an ever-evolving world that asks us to make an exception. That asks us to compromise our beliefs. That asks us to take the JES out of JESUS and just leave the US part, making it about US. We may have good intentions of doing something FOR God and along the way lose sight we were supposed to be doing it WITH God. This life was never meant to be lived just for US but with JESUS.

So how do we break out of the dyslexia pattern?
By being equipped with God’s truth. By staying in His Word in prayer. The more we educate ourselves and spend time with God’s words the better able we can decipher what’s backward and what’s not. Even the godliest people don’t get it right. We can be encouraged, we might not always get it right, but God makes up for our shortcomings. He will set our paths straight when we trust in Him.
Spiritual Root of Dyslexia
We’ve all heard the phrase “dyslexic” before, but what does it mean?
Dyslexia is a neurological condition that affects how a person’s brain processes information. It can be present from childhood or found in adults. People with dyslexia have difficulties with reading, writing, spelling, and/or math. They may also struggle with attention span, comprehension, and memory.
The spiritual root of dyslexia is often overlooked—but it is there! And it’s worth exploring if you’ve ever felt like your brain isn’t working right.
Dyslexics are usually highly creative people who want to make a difference in the world. They just need to find their own way of doing things. Dyslexics are also usually very intuitive and empathetic individuals who value relationships above everything else in life!
